We finally made it over to Ergon House / 72H in time for them to still have baguettes! I considered buying two but baguettes don’t exactly have a long shelf life, so instead I figured I’d get another cardamom bun to have late-night tonight. H got a croissant and some sort of potato-leek handpie with laminated dough and hot honey that looked pretty good as well.
Since we were right next to Ergon House, we also went in so H could pick up the coffee cups that she fell in love with the first time we were in there.
The baguette was delicious. It was labelled as “sourdough” and it definitely had that … “interesting”? … slighty-tangy taste that sourdough sometimes gets. The texture of the inside was perfectly French, though, and the crust was particularly satisfying. The potato-leek pie was almost sweet from the leeks which were very caramelized, and the pastry was perfectly fluffy and crispy, but the potatoes inside were a little weird. Still, very enjoyable, and I know that cardamom bun is A+.
We stayed up pretty late last night. Here’s hoping to any early night tonight. It’s the weekend.
